The lime is dry out of the tub and moisture in the breath is required for the reaction to remove the CO2. I can't see how it's inactivated by drying out...

Dude, you are giving out very bad advice here. There is a reason the lime is stored in sealed containers. It has a high moisture content that is critical to the functioning of it. Definitely not recomended to dry it out! Please re-read the label and instructions.

I should clarify that it's my understanding that leaving the canister out overnight allows excess moisture to dry but is not intended to actually dry out the sorb and doing that would take quite a while anyway.

Hello guys,

Ones agian thanks for the information! nice link Seems reasonable to leave the sorb in the scrubber seald for one week and then do another dive maybe two dives and then discard it. If the dives do not exceed three hours in total.

Mark, will you show the pelagian at BOOT ???
